New Year's, Southern Style

RED HOOK Recuperate from your New Year’s hangover with Fort Defiance’s prix-fixe Southern brunch on Saturday. Starting at 9am (but running until 11pm for anyone who needs extra recovery time), the New Orleans-influenced café-bar will be serving fried chicken, Coca-Cola ham, collard greens, black-eyed peas, and biscuits, among other delicious bites; as always, their fantastic winter cocktail menu, featuring drinks like the Koffie Van Brunt and hot toddies, will also be available. They’ll even be taking reservations for groups of six or more.
